pippychick Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 I thought some might find this interesting. Vermont University have tracked word usage on social media etc to create this, a listing that assigns a ‘happiness’ score to words. http://hedonometer.org/words.html I know it’s only one connotation, and probably not infallible, but if you’re trying to create a certain mood, where your descriptive work lies here might be helpful.

JayDee Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 It says the word ‘death’ = happiness rank 10217 of 10222 I wonder if words 10218 – 10222 are all related to spending time in the same room as Piers Morgan. InBrightestDay, BronxWench, pippychick and 1 other 4 Quote
Tcr Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 Judging from the words, I guess it depends on your thoughts, JayDee. Although… And @pippychick, this is an interesting list. A quite helpful resource for any writer to use to help develop the mood (as you said) within scenes and over all story. Thanks for bringing it here! InBrightestDay, pippychick and JayDee 3 Quote
CloverReef Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 I love this! It's got everything that's awesome in this world: words... A list. Don't mind me. I'm just going to spend all night groping this thing. InBrightestDay, pippychick and JayDee 3 Quote

Oh, boy, @pippychick, now look what you've done... Clover's gone groping the electronics again. Someone's gonna have her put in the psych ward. JayDee, pippychick and InBrightestDay 3 Quote
